In this activity, learners will create a model rocket out of an inflated balloon attached to a straw on a taught string.

Students design and build their own parachutes in this hands-on engineering project.

In this hands-on activity, children create their own kites that can fly indoors. Learners are exposed to basic concepts of gravity and air resistance.

Students design and create their own air-powered rockets, in this hands-on activity.

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

In this design challenge activity, learners use two helium-filled balloons to build a blimp that can travel in a straight path across the room.

In this activity, learners make plates levitate! Learners build "hovercrafts" using simple materials to explore friction and motion.

Hooray! In this design challenge activity, learners invent a device that launches a spoonful of confetti into the air. Learners are encouraged to create the biggest cloud of confetti possible.

This activity models the way Landsat satellites use a thermal infrared sensor to measure land surface temperatures.
